I cannot comment on that specific situation, but I can tell you that the act currently, under section 67.1, says that it prohibits destroying, altering, falsifying or concealing records with the intent of denying “a right of access”. During an investigation, if we find that documents have been destroyed and I have sufficient evidence to believe that it was intentional in order for that information to not be accessible, I can refer the file to the Attorney General for further investigation under the Criminal Code. However, it's not something that I can pursue. When an administrative investigation becomes a criminal investigation, I am limited.
